PI2003-EVAL1: ORing 2 x 8A @ 48V (60V Max)

The Cool-ORing PI2003 with an external industry standard 100V N-channel MOSFET provides a complete Active ORing solution designed for use in -48 Vbus redundant power system architectures. The PI2003 controller with an N-channel MOSFET enables extremely low power loss with fast dynamic response to fault conditions, critical for high availability systems.

The PI2003 controller with a low Rds(on) N-channel MOSFET provides very high efficiency and low power loss during steady state operation. The PI2003 controller provides an active low fault flag output to the system during excessive forward current, light load, or reverse current.

The PI2003-EVAL1 allows the user to test the basic principle and operational characteristics of a low side Active ORing function in a redundant power architecture, while also experiencing the benefits and value of the PI2003 solution versus conventional Active ORing solutions. The PI2003-EVAL1 evaluation board is configured to receive two independent power source inputs, per a typical redundant power architecture, through two Active ORing channels that are combined to form a redundant power output. Each channel contains a PI2003 controller and an N-channel power MOSFET. The MOSFET foot print can take an SO-8 or Power SO-8 MOSFET package. Each channel is capable of up to 6 A.
